  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon juniper berries, ground (about 1 teaspoon ground)
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, ground (about 1 teaspoon ground)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom pods, ground (about 1/2 teaspoon ground)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 pounds venison tenderloin

Method

  • Combine the first 15 ingredients in a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag. Seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
  • Remove the venison from the bag, and discard the marinade. Place the venison on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and broil 10 minutes on each side or until done.
  • Cut the venison crosswise into thin slices.
